John Little, PhD (Standing Rock Dakota), is a scholar, historian, filmmaker, and mentor. His presentations and research focus on Native student retention and success in higher education, decolonizing work in the university, cultural appropriation and Native American-themed mascots, Lakota and Dakota music, and Native American Vietnam veterans, looking at the fact that Native Americans serve in the military at a higher per-capita rate than any other ethnic group in the United States.   Dr. Little received his PhD in History from the University of Minnesota and is passionate about changing the way history is written about Native peoples. He is currently the Director of Native Recruitment and Alumni Engagement at the University of South Dakota.

Native Opinion Episode 111 TITLE: “No Time To Rest…when Fighting Cultural Appropriation…” How to Reach our show: E-Mail: hosts@nativeopinion.com Twitter: @nativeopinion Facebook: facebook.com/nativeopinionpodcast/ Webpage: nativeopinion.com  Leave us a voicemail: Call us! (860) 381–0207       Guest This Episode: John & Kenn Little GUEST Introduction: The issue of Native American cultural appropriation and sports mascots has sadly been around for a very long time. Tonight we take a look at the subject through the lens (as it were) of two filmmakers. Both are brothers, and both are members of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe. They are John & Kenn Little. John graduated with his BA from South Dakota State and MA in history from the University of South Dakota. His research focus is on Native American veterans, music, cultural appropriation, and mascots. He is currently a Ph.D. student at the University of Minnesota. Kenn received his BA in Graphic Design and New Media from Full Sail University in 2013. He is a multifaceted artist, writer, videographer, and musician and often combines those abilities on his projects. Together, John and Kenn have produced a documentary entitled “More Than a Word”, which analyzes the Washington football team and their use of the derogatory term R-word..(folks can fill in the blank… ) Using interviews from both those in favor of changing the name and those against, More Than A Word presents a deeper analysis of the many issues surrounding the Washington team name. The documentary also examines the history of Native American cultural appropriation.

Trump. And he’s running for Congress because “the swamp is deep, the alligators, bite, and the taxpayers are getting ripped off every day.” He wants less regulation and more oil and gas development. And don’t get him started on what he dismisses as “fake news.” More on that, shortly. Clarkson, a Choctaw tribal member, is running in the Republican primary for New Mexico’s second congressional district. The district is now represented by the state’s only Republican in Congress, Steve Pearce, who is a candidate for governor. It’s a crowded field. There are at least four Republican candidates and a half dozen Democrats. (Two of the Republicans have already raised nearly a half million dollars between them.) The filing deadline comes up in March and the primary is in June.

This has been a long, 18-year struggle, and it was great. We never gave up. We kept fighting the battle. We kept going back, and today, we won,” Monacan Chief Dean Branham said as he drove home from Washington, D.C. after Thursday’s vote. “We just had to wait for our time, and this was our time.” READ MORE:  https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/virginia-politics/senate-sends-bill-recognizing-six-virginia-indian-tribes-to-president-trumps-desk/2018/01/11/80c56260-f6f3-11e7-b34a-b85626af34ef_story.html?utm_term=.d99a9a79e9d5     MAIN CONTENT SEGMENTS: **Article 1: ** TITLE: Eastern Cherokees see strong support for Tennessee land-into-trust bill The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians is seeing strong support for a bill to restore some of its ancestral lands in Tennessee.

Four weeks into the Cincinnati Premier Youth Basketball League’s season, parents of players on a team from West Clermont, Ohio, saw that the team from Kings Mills, Ohio, against whom their children were playing was named “The Wet Dream Team.” They also noticed that the names on the backs of the high-school-aged boys’ jerseys included phrases like “Knee Grow” and “Coon.” Tony Rue, a parent of a West Clermont player, highlighted the eyebrow-raising jerseys in a lengthy Facebook post asking how such attire, and such a team name, was deemed appropriate for a league that hosts players from grades two through 12. **READ MORE: **   https://sports.yahoo.com/ohio-youth-team-kicked-rec-league-offensive-jerseys-185930020.html
